Sounds cool - typical Micke - and definitely asks for vocals.

I'd mix it a bit differently, though. The syncopated bass is much too 
prominent, particularly during the quieter phases with the pad in the 
background. I'd probably automate the filter to tackle this issue: close 
it down somewhat to make space for the other sounds, but open it up when 
it's nearly "solo". I'd also try some minor, slow LFO modulation there 
to introduce a bit of motion.

I also feel it sounds a bit thin when you use the square wave sounds 
(e.g. starting around 1:15), I'd try to find something to fill in the 
low mids. The problem might already be solved when you filter the 
syncopated bass, as it automatically moves its main energy down in the 
spectrum.

Last but not least: I think it's a bit overcooked during the final 
master. Give it a bit more space to breathe - meaning reduce 
compression. Just a touch should do.
